Confirmation Bias with Dr. Ryan Goke

Oh man! Back after a long break, but here we are with another super great and super important episode! In the midst of election season, my friend Ryan and I discuss a phenomenon that we as people all fall victim to- confirmation bias. In a country where news, clickbait, and social media are prevalent, we are led to consume and adhere to things that only align with our beliefs, whether accurate or not. Tune in to hear just how much confirmation bias can affect us, but also how to have an intentional mindset to keep yourself (hopefully) accurately informed!

Pediatric Brain Cancer with Hannah Thomas

TW: cancer, mention of child death OH HEY! This is a decently special episode- it is actually the first one I ever recorded and the only one I recorded IN person. It was spur of the moment so the audio is a little off, but most of it is solid and of course, the content is important! PEDIATRIC BRAIN CANCER YO! Medulloblastoma! There are lots of organizations Hannah and I touch on, listed below! https://childrenwithhairloss.us/about-children-with-hair-loss/ https://fleeceandthankyou.org/ https://www.wishuponateen.org/ https://www.gktw.org/ and those stats- https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/medulloblastoma-childhood

Child Neglect, Adoption, and the Foster System with Rachel Burgess

TW for this episode: child neglect, mention of child abuse, adoption, foster care This episode is OH SO IMPORTANT. Join in on this conversation with myself and the wonderful Rachel Burgess. This episode may be heavy, and I must admit I did not add some of my usual humour, just because the subject matter is sensitive. But this is what Taboo Topics was made for... Please, make the effort to take a listen! For my non-US friends, some of these programs definitely look different, but I encourage you to listen anyways!!

Cystic Fibrosis and Mortality with Steven Strickland

TW: cystic fibrosis, mortality/death, some graphic medical descriptions/blood What an episode! Tune in to a conversation all about cystic fibrosis, navigating those challenges, and what to do when you know your time is limited. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and it will probably be exactly the thing you need right now. Talk about an expansion of perspective! Update: My beloved friend Steve lost his battle with CF on May 14th, 2024, making this episode outrageously special to me. He was truly the best and is greatly missed 3 Giant Helmet! Go buy a mini-stick! https://www.gianthelmet.com/ Great resource to learn more about CF: https://www.cff.org/ Grief resource: https://www.griefincommon.com/

Codependency with Christine Stover

TW: Codependency Codependency is a complex thing, and I think more common than we all think. A lot of behaviors that are destructive to people fall under this umbrella, we just don't realize it. Do you struggle with pouring out of an empty cup? Does your worth come from helping others? Do you give people authority over you and pity them at the same time? Whether the answer is yes or no, listen in to this intriguing conversation and broaden your understanding!
